Mercedes-Benz Certified Vehicle Warranty

When we go to such lengths to comprehensively check every Approved Pre-Owned vehicle, it should come as no surprise that all qualifying vehicles have an Approved Pre-Owned factory warranty. The Warranty is only available for Approved Pre-Owned vehicles purchased from an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealership in New Zealand.

What does the Mercedes-Benz Certified warranty cover?

The Mercedes-Benz Certified Warranty provides coverage for manufacturing defects and a range of breakdown and roadside assistance situations almost anywhere in New Zealand. Mercedes-Benz will repair or replace (at our election) manufacturing defects in material or workmanship which arise during the relevant Warranty period free of charge.However, the Mercedes-Benz Certified Warranty only covers vehicles imported and manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. It does not cover any modification, accessories, bodies or other goods or services supplied by a third person.

What doesn't the Approved Pre-Owned Warranty cover?

The Warranty covers the same mechanical components and exclusions as set out in the Mercedes-Benz New Passenger Car Owner Protection Plan, subject to a number of additional excluded components as summarised below. Please see the Approved Pre-Owned Warranty booklet for more detail on the exclusions. These components are excluded from the Warranty:

How do I get assistance to correct a manufacturing defect?

Obviously we want to get you back on the road as quickly and as effortlessly as we can.

Present the vehicle to an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer immediately or as soon as practicable after a defect arises. You can find your nearest authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer at www.mercedes-benz.com.au/dealer

You must also present a copy of the Warranty booklet provided to you at delivery together with the vehicle’s Service Booklet

Repair work under the Warranty must be carried out by an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer using Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts

You must permit the authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer to fully inspect the vehicle. Some repairs, diagnosis or replication of the defect may not be possible with only one inspection, so you may need to make more than one visit to an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer

Any parts that have been replaced as part of a Warranty repair will become the property of Mercedes-Benz

If your vehicle requires emergency repair work and you are unable to deliver your vehicle to an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer, please contact Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance on 1800 807 700
